3 PANEL MIXED MEDIA - 'LIVE LOVE LAUGH'

I recently attended a mixed media workshop, where we worked on techniques and tested them on three panels.

Some of the elements on my panels were provided, but as there was very little time to wait for the stencilled texture paste to dry, we took them home to complete.

This is the 'LIVE" panel:


and includes the following techniques and embellishments 


texture paste stencilling
colour mists
rubber stamping
layered, recoloured flowers and leaves
tassel
shell
fabric lace
metal and gem recycled earring parts
wooden sentiment, coloured and misted
bling dragonflies
tag
star spangles
colouring done using distress crayons, brush and water, as well as Inktense pencils brush and water

This is the 'LOVE' panel:


and it includes the same (but different) elements


 and this is the 'LAUGH' panel:

 


 and it also includes the .same (but different) elements.
